When I first seen this marker I thought it was a military marker. Because that is the first thing I think of when I see and eagle holding a flag. Then I read the inscription. Deffinately not a military stone unless they recruited three year olds in the 1880s. (The bird could possibly be a dove.)

Yes I would have thought it was a military decoration too, Well spotted.....

I think it could possibly be a Pelican, for the pelican represents the self-sacrifice of parenting and therefore the greatest love of a parent for it's child.Pelicans are often shown feeding their young from their own breast.
